This request for infrastructure from MRI/OMA will allow research groups of physicists and students at Hampton University to develop and construct a sophisticated tracking device: a Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) for the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland. This proposal will allow underrepresented minorities to participate in the highest priority future experiment of the EPP program, in collaboration with physicists from other universities in the US and aboard, and in collaboration with nearby Jefferson Laboratory. Surface characterization and process control using keV X-rays; imaging applications, including biological imaging and imaging for inspections; detectors for astrophysical applications are possible future uses of these detectors.

MRI/OMA对基础设施的要求将允许汉普顿大学的物理学家和学生的研究小组开发和建造一个复杂的跟踪设备：一个过渡辐射跟踪器（TRT），用于位于瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的大型强子对撞机（LHC）的ATLAS探测器。该提案将允许未被充分代表的少数民族参与EPP计划中最优先的未来实验，与来自美国和国外其他大学的物理学家合作，并与附近的杰斐逊实验室合作。利用keV x射线进行表面表征和工艺控制成像应用，包括生物成像和检查成像；用于天体物理应用的探测器是这些探测器未来可能的用途。
